I’m extremely baffled at this. I need my science/biology majors to help me out here because I’m totally and utterly confused about this. Did I miss something in my Health Sciences class when the teacher was explaining the reproduction process because trying to even understand this is starting to give me a headache.

Well, police in Lexington Missouri have charged Felicity Marmaduke, a 38 year old mortuary worker with desecration of the dead and necrophilia after becoming pregnant by one of her clients. She is now being held on a $250,000 bond. According to a statement made to police by Marmaduke, the alleged victim experienced a post mortem erection while being bathed. (This is where you science majors come in and please explain how this is possible by commenting below.)

While she was alone with the dead man, Marmaduke straddled him and proceeded to have sex with him. Much to her surprise, the alleged victim came to orgasm after several minutes.

While receiving a routine medical exam a few weeks later, Marmaduke had a positive pregnancy test. Police were immediately notified after she confessed as to how her pregnancy came about.

She was arrested without incident in her trailer home a few blocks from the mortuary.

What makes this whole situation worse is that Marmaduke plans to sue the dead man’s estate for child support.

Lord have mercy on this poor woman’s soul and her unborn child. How are you going to even explain to your child how he/she was created? I just can’t get over the fact that a dead man could still have erections. Even to your graves huh fellas?

The forum posts on the last link are funny. I got more of a laugh from those and then I saw one post in particular that was just plain wrong there (post #14).

I guess this can happen in real life, but my guess is a couple of things - she either was very desperate and wanted to get off and saw her chance, or she might have become pregnant by someone else around the same time. If the picture they show on the source of the web page are of the deceased, my guess is she was desperate. This and sick in the head.
